amazarashi – Kyoukaisen (English Translation)[86: Eighty-Six Opening 2]
Year: 2021
Lyrics:
What a scene I saw in my eyes – The last twinkling of a star
Resignation, is that now a thing of the past? The night is dark, no one has
light
No one knows, no one can name, what our sparks have illuminated
The dried soil, the charred rubble, the days when you smiled
I know that I’m destined to end up forgotten on the other side of the border
That voice that won’t allow me to give in, is it a former comrade in arms or my
own heart?
The meaning of existence is always something other than myself, like you,
only your voice
I felt that if I could reach you, I could call the faintly lit fire hope
I didn’t want to see it like this. The crying that blocked the voice that cried
“It’s scary out there”, a loud voice said, and the reverberations spread,
stabbing people
It’s easy to turn a good man into a violent one, and that one voice is
unmistakably justice
It’s always been to protect the wretched beast that he turns into
On the other side of the border, beaten down, grieving, and yet still
Is that voice that condemns me for pretending to be someone I’m not, an
afterimage of my hometown or my own heart?
The meaning of existence is always something other than myself, like you,
only your voice
I felt that if I could reach you, I could call the faintly lit fire hope
Every heartless decision I made, every reckless choice I made, every defeat I
succumbed to, every compromise I made
Because I hate yesterday, the day I was forced to do this
So next time, choose me, choose me today
On the other side of the border, I see people struggling, people grieving
If we choose to remain silent, are we accomplices, or can we be people?
The value of our existence is always within ourselves, the color of each
individual
If I hold you in my heart, the faint fire that lights up is somehow similar to the
last starry sky
